Baseball Rallies for 5-4 Win over Navy in Shortened Game

Box Score

Emmitsburg, Md. (March 30, 2011)--Mount St. Mary's scored three times in the bottom of the seventh to rally for a 5-4 win over Navy at E.T. Straw Family Stadium on campus. The game was called due to snow and rain in the top half of the eighth.

Trailing 4-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh, the Mount (9-12) rallied for three runs to earn the victory. With snow coming down, a pair of two-out errors by Navy put runners on second and third for Andrew Caron, who came through with a clutch single to right to plate the tying runs. Sam Nott walked to put runners on first and second for Kyle Kane, who delivered a double down the left field line to score Caron with the go-ahead run.

Navy (14-11-1) scored the tying run in the top of the eighth on a Mount error, but the umpire called the game at that point due to poor field conditions. Play reverts to the last completed inning in that situation, which sent the Mount home with the 5-4 victory.

Navy opened the scoring on a two-run homer by Jeff Bland in the top of the second inning. The Midshipmen added an unearned run in the third to take a 3-0 lead.

The Mount responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the third to cut the deficit to 3-2. Tommy Flynn manufactured the first run when he singled, moved to second on a wild pitch, stole third and then scored when the throw to third went into left field. Michael Foster singled, moved to third on a wild pitch, and then scored on Mark Quaranta's base hit.

Navy added an unearned run in the top of the seventh on a Dave Milanes sacrifice fly before the Mount's rally.

Brett Moore (1-2) picked up the win, tossing a complete game, allowing four runs (two earned) with four strikeouts. Quaranta went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI while Kane was 2-for-4 with two doubles and the game-winning RBI. Caron reached base all four times, going 1-for-1 with three walks.

The Mount hosts Fairleigh Dickinson for a four-game Northeast Conference series beginning with a nine-inning game at 3:00 p.m. on Friday at Straw Family Stadium.
